Wasn't it Pennelope who called her that?

Score one for the Mod.

Darn. I guess I'll just have to brush up on my QC knowledge with an archive binge. Oh well. :-D

I don't know.
For some reason, Marigold's reaction is so completely not ok with me that I don't feel like commenting on the comic again until at least next Tuesday.
I'm not even really angry, I'm just ... disheartened.
Edit: Maybe it's because Faye got the broken glasses from being punched in the face, and I thought Marigold might be able to better sympathize...

To be fair, Marigold doesn't know that's how the glasses got broken. Faye could have easily stepped on them or something.
Going along with the whole "people suck more than they think" thing, everyone has bitchy moments sometimes, and Marigold's had a couple already (brushing off Momo seconds after complaining she wouldn't have time for her anymore; the little "bye Faye!" she gleefully gave after Faye realized she was crushing on Angus). It's part of Marigold's social ineptness- she can't see the line between friendly teasing and just plain being an ass (and not self-aware enough to see what a hypocrite she's being). It's something she needs to be corrected on, and I have a feeling she's about to get "corrected" quote soundly.

I think many of us are worse people than we think we are. I know I am.

Well, I'd say that the position of that line is very subjective.
Oh, and by a funny coincidence... the very comic after the "alpha-bitch" one is this one:

Panel 4. In particular, what Faye says in panel 4.
pwhodges:
Marigold's banter seems well within bounds for friends, I'd say; and the glasses held together with sticking plaster look has been used, in cartoons at least, to indicate "nerd" since forever (by which I mean back to the 1960s at least - I don't know if Poindexter was the origin of it, though). Faye is clearly sensitive about her haircut, let along the broken glasses. I'm not sure whether Hanners is shocked at Marigold's forthrightness, or at the prospect of Faye punching her.
Mojo:
I think she means it as a joke. After all, she has the SAME glasses, yes?
Paranoid:
I'm not sure why people are freaking out at Marigold. Yeah, what she said was impulsive and insensitive, but it's not like this was the first time she's done something like this. I'm sure she'll apologize soon enough (possibly off-screen) and everyone will be happy friends again. Besides, it's not like Faye hasn't made impulsive and insensitive comments before, just of a different kind.
